Idea - FPL Style Premier League Squad of the Season


Allan
 Share

Recommended Posts

Anyone fancy doing a quick squad of the season in the Fantasy Premier League style?

 

You'll need to pick a squad of 18 players that must have 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards. (Player positions are dictated by those in the Official FPL game, so Mo is a midfielder, not a forward).

 

However, there's an added stipulation in that you can only pick 1 player from each team, meaning you'll have to pick 18 players from the 20 teams in the Premier League this season.

 

No draft or voting, or anything like that, just a straight up squad selection and debate afterwards.

Revised rules because I'm no good at arithmetic...

 

You'll need to pick a squad of 15 players that must have 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards. (Player positions are dictated by those in the Official FPL game, so Mo is a midfielder, not a forward).

Are we supposed to be picking a squad that has some type of balance (ie LB, RB - a DM, etc) or just 15 players? Because so many of the FPL midfielders are essentially forwards. 

Ive done it the same as the rules on fantasy football. You don't need balance? 

 

Thats how I took it anyway....

Yeah, it depends though if you're actually trying to make a team from your squad. Your midfield is exactly what I mean - you couldn't play a proper side with that squad. I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, just asking the question...

I don't think thats necessarily the point mate but if it is I am happy to change it? 

 

Some side though given the options....

The idea was just to pick a squad in the manner in which you would pick to play the FPL game.

 

Doesn't have to have balance to it, but I suspect that most of us would have a modicum of balance in mind. After all the drafts that we've played, the majority are aware how people slate unbalanced sides.

 

Stig's side has decent balance to it, he's got a fullback apiece and a tidy midfield that may just lack a little defensive steel. Then you have the forwards that give you different options.

 

It's a good squad Stig has put together, but can it be bettered?

We could certainly do a proper Team of the Season, in a PFA style, where you pick your best XI for the season. 

 

Again, I'd suggest the 1 player per team stipulation to really get an idea of who people rate from other sides, and to stop it turning into a Liverpool & City dominated team.

 

These teams would definitely need to be balanced.

 

To be honest, I just wanted a little break from the traditional drafts that we've been doing, while still keeping this sub forum ticking over.

My sides better. 

 

That it? 

 

Keepers - Foster and McCarthy v Etheridge and Dubravka - McCarthy hasn't even been Southampton's first choice keeper for months. I win.

 

Defence - Bamba v Ake. I win.

 

Midfield - Maddison, Ramsey, Fraser v Sterling, Pogba, Doucoure. I win.

 

Forwards - Aguero and Rashford v Aubameyang and Vardy. Draw.

 

Comprehensive victory for Dim FC.
